“Citing a rising public demand for its latest version of Linux,
SuSE Inc. (www.suse.com) partnered with Ingram Micro Inc.
(NYSE:IM), the world’s largest wholesale provider of technology
products and services, to deliver SuSE’s line of Linux software
products to top North American software retailers.”
“The one-year renewable agreement is effective immediately
and includes SuSE Linux CD and DVD versions for the Intel platform,
Alpha, and the future release of a version for PPC.”
“All SuSE products sold through Ingram Micro’s retail channels
will carry SuSE’s highly recognized product support and customer
guarantees. “About 70% of our $22 million 1999 revenue was from
sales of our boxed products,” said Volker Wiegand, CEO of SuSE Inc.
in the United States. “Last year’s U.S. revenues were up 350% and,
with demand continuing to rise, this partnership with Ingram Micro
is key to our being able to get our SuSE Linux to millions of
users. With its huge distribution network, Ingram Micro is the
perfect partner for SuSE.”
